"People have been so encouraged by society to focus on apparent differences that they fail to see meaningful similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups."

In most cases, people are likely to pay more attention to apparent differences between ideas, individuals and groups. However some meaningful similarities among our surroundings are helpful indeed.

Different opinions always lead to great progress in the scientific fields. Retrospect to the early period of the development of science. There were several of explanations of a single phenomenon. After fierce debates and conflicts, researchers had made a conclusion which was accepted by the majorities, such as the establish of the Relativity Theory. In 1900s, the theory of classical physics built by Newton was substantial in the scientific world. However there were several experiment phenomenons, such as the Blackbody Radiation that cannot be explained by the classical theory. It was Albert Einstein who challenged the authority and asserted that the classical physics was not a universal theory and established his own theory which is still the principle of the science now.

On the other hand, the similarities are also a positive force to the modern science. Some experts of different areas found the common principle in the subjects they were focused on and worked together to combine them. A lot of significant subject such as biochemistry, mathematical physics were started in this way.

And also some scientists themselves are familiar with several subjects. During the 18th century or maybe earlier the famous mathematicians, physicists and even philosophers were the some person. That is because they had found the meaningful similarities of different subjects and use them as a whole.

When it comes to individuals, apparent differences often as a discipline to set up relationship among strangers. When you meet a stranger, during your talking, you may find the different hobbies, ideas, goals and something like that, then you make a decision that whether he or she can be your friend.

Otherwise, the similarities are important either. For example, couples are always having much more common aspects in order to enjoy happy lives. Seldom does anyone get married to someone that has no common sense.

Leaders of groups such as companies, sports team, classes should be able to utilize the various personalities of the members. Only in this way could improve the competitive of groups. Also, an effective leadership needs the ability to combine the meaningful similarities of members, because the similarities make the cooperation more efficiency and easily.

Take the basketball team as a example. An excellent coach should arrange the team reasonably. Someone shoot better and jump higher should be a shooting guard, and the one who is taller can be a frontline, and who is quicker ought to be a swingman and so forth. The coach may also take advantage of players` cooperation ability to arrange tactical such as backdoor cut, double team, fast break.

Finally the apparent differences and the meaningful similarities are all have positive effects on almost every area we live in. thus, we should better to keep a balance of them.
